it's about knowledge and capabilities. Yes, I can do it. And I'll do it cheaply.

CNC 5711 builds

Okay. But it is not how the forum works though. The rules don’t allow you to do business here.
@getscollect if you want to sell these builds you can apply to @trailboss99 to become a vendor. You need to have all your Ts crossed an Is dotted to do this.
If these builds are not for personal use then they cannot be sold in the M2M section. Possibly in the Collectors Corner but not in regular M2M.

You’ll be a wealthy person if you can do it and do it cheaply. But perhaps this is not the right forum to make those claims without some proof. Particularly after your earlier hard to believe posts about a 1:1 5711 build that has custom case, custom bracelet, improved dial AND an improved and stable free sprung movement with gold rotor, all for $2500.
If you actually have the ability to source such quality parts at such low prices and even the skill to further improve the dial, you’ll put 3KF, PPF, and ACE out of business. So why waste time making these claims in some random thread of a rep forum?
@getscollect take all the attention from mods and warnings from members serious. Everyone saw your angle from the first post.

PM'd you bro ! Totally stoked to get a perfect 1:1 5711 from you !
What does business have to do with it? People here have shown more than once what they do on their own and then sold it, for example, like Keylog. What's the problem?

I'll explain it to you. I have enough money, but I'm a big enthusiast in many things, including watchmaking + I have a lot of experience in running a business and I know how the market works now. Also, that's why I said that I would like to share photo-video reports of what's happening, what's working out or not, and so on. This is interesting to me and I think it would be interesting to many. I just live in such things and for me at the moment the first thing is not to earn as much money as possible, but just to do what I came up with in my head.
Hmm.. what did I write that is worth avoiding me or thinking that I am just a scammer? Read my answer a little higher, why I want and can do this. Especially if you read well, then I want to share the process here and photos and videos and so on. It's like a blog about how it will be created and that's it.
I'm just going to do it and I'm going to show the process here on the forum if possible. But for now I see that everyone here is too skeptical and laughs at me, but in any case, this will not stop me.

How? I have a CNC case, SW dial etc, Ace 324 but no solid gold rotor and that was a 3.5k watch. Maybe we have different ideas of "not much"
No, we have the same idea about it. $3.5k, that's expensive. You see, if you look under a microscope at the original and your dial, case, strap, etc. You will see many differences that make the original the original. Even if you look at the ACE mechanism, their engravings and the gold rotor, it just looks similar, but not identical and it's not worth the money they sell them for. I want to do everything down to the smallest detail. It's just my enthusiasm in life.

Well, yes. There is a reason the original is a 50k watch. The movement for example is hand-engraved in an operation that takes weeks. You can't do that with CNC
Of course you won't, but there are other methods. I understand your skepticism, but in any case, my experiment won't cost a cent for any of the forum members. But again, I can post the process and we will discuss it together, change something, etc. Collective intelligence, so to speak.

@getscollect I think we'd all like to see your creation and appreciate your enthusiasm; after all, that is what this forum is all about. Some of us have been here for years and seen big promises made and not kept before, hence the skepticism. The main issue is taking money from people through this forum without being properly registered with the owner. It's about protecting the community. My advice is to first show proof of concept here, and then if it all works and there's shared enthusiasm (which there will be if what you say is true), approach TB and figure out the correct way forward.
I look forward to seeing your output. Good luck!

Yes, I understand that. But I don't ask anyone for a cent and I won't ask, I will organize all this at my own expense and will share photos and videos with you. And when I manage to achieve what I think and talk about, then I can think about some sales and so on.

I haven't worn it for any great length of time, I need to shove it on the timegrapher and take a look I suppose.
